However, CM can cause systemic embolization, and delayed cerebral metastasis is extremely rare. A 54-year-old woman presented with progressive lower limb weakness and was diagnosed with multiple cerebral infarctions associated with a left atrial pedunculated tumor. The tumor was completely resected under cardiopulmonary bypass and confirmed histopathologically as CM. Seven months later, she developed transient visual disturbances and right-hand weakness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed enlarging lesions inconsistent with vascular territories. Craniotomy and histopathology with calretinin positivity confirmed metastatic myxoma. She underwent stereotactic radiotherapy and remained recurrence-free at 1\u00a0year. Even after complete resection of CM, delayed cerebral metastasis may occur. Persistent neurological surveillance and multidisciplinary management are essential for early detection and favorable long-term outcomes in patients with CM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omag081","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,22]],"date-time":"2026-04-22T11:51:51Z","timestamp":1776858711000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Delayed
